Recently, Brad Pitt has given an interview which allowed him to look back on his long and extremely successful film career.
One of the roles that made him an international film star was the part of Louis de Pointe du Lac in Interview with the Vampire: The Vampire Chronicles, based on a novel written by Anne Rice. To play a vampire, he had to wear coloured contact lenses, which – in 1994, when the film was produced – were not as comfortable as they are today. Consequently, Pitt complained that the makeup (of which the lenses constituted a major part) was the worst thing about filming the box-office hit.
However, thinking about how Inteview with the Vampire changed his career, the actor is quite happy that he managed to finish filming it.
At the moment, Pitt is promoting his latest picture, Moneyball, which premiered in the US on 23rd September and has been widely praised by film critics around the world.
